I am getting a new pc delivered tomorrow and I noticed that the graphics in it is Intel 845GV. I know the system specs for the game said something about non t&l you need processor at least 800MHz. The pc I am getting has 2.6 so thats ok for the game. I noticed the cards supported with intel has three 82845, 82865,82915. When I looked up the specs for the 845GV graphics card it said something about memory bus or hub or something like that and had the number 82845 listed. Is that what they are talking about when they mentioned the number 82845 supported in the specs for the game? I'm all confused here. I mean if its not I guess I could just go get a new video card and pit it in the pc but then I dont know the difference between the pci or agp. The computer does'nt have agp but I noticed pci. If some one could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
